Hey, this isn’t dunking on people who like or use labels like this, but I think there’s a bit of a push in online spaces to figure out every facet of your identity through intense self-introspection and increasingly obscure microlabels that just… isn’t really necessary. If your gender or sexuality is stressing you out in a way that isn’t beyond your control (i.e. dysphoria or facing transphobia/homophobia), just take a step back and realize that if no label ever clicks for you, you can just grab the nearest umbrella term and go. It’s that simple. If you do see a more obscure label and go “Yesss, that’s me!” good for you, but you literally don’t have to.

#labels are meant to be helpful not prisons #i don’t like to use micro labels on myself for a number of reasons #one it’s too much pressure to pick the exact right thing #i already get stressed out with broad labels #two even if a micro label does fit it’s like…not the business of most people?#it feels like i’m giving away too much information that isn’t anyone’s business but mine #i don’t feel comfortable sharing the hyper spesific aspects of my identity with people most of the time so i don’t use micro labels #to be clear don’t have an issue with them and if you want to use them please do!#just don’t feel like you should have to because you don’t

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

‘hell’ and ‘fuck’ combining into the much less substantial ‘heck’ is literally exactly the same energy as sodium and chloride combing to make table salt

you’re the only worthwhile commentary on this post and I’d like to thank you for that

Ngl this is kinda hilarious

Makes sense. I mean, a passenger of a cruise line isn't called a sailor, right? Astronaut literally means "star sailor."

OP how could you not include the first paragraph of the article

Huge oversight on my part you're absolutely right

Broke: Barbie’s many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.

Woke: Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.

Bespoke: Barbie’s different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.

I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful.

I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.”

Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie.
